The DIA DB0700S702 SDR 357MAG 2″ 6R DA POL/SS is a compact, snub-nose revolver built for concealed carry and backup duty. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it offers six rounds of serious stopping power in a double-action platform with a 2-inch barrel. The polished stainless steel finish gives it a classic, durable look that holds up against daily carry wear.

Key Features
- 2-Inch Snub-Nose Barrel — Why it matters: Keeps the revolver short enough for pocket or ankle carry without sacrificing the velocity needed for .357 Magnum defensive loads.
- Six-Round Capacity — Why it matters: You get one more round than the typical five-shot J-frame, giving you a meaningful edge in a defensive encounter without adding bulk.
- Double-Action Only Trigger — Why it matters: No hammer spur to snag on clothing during a draw, and the consistent trigger pull simplifies training — pull through every time.
- Polished Stainless Steel Finish — Why it matters: Resists rust and sweat corrosion better than blued finishes, so this revolver can live in a holster next to your skin day after day.
- Fixed Sights — Why it matters: Snag-free profile that won’t hang up on a pocket or holster lip; point-and-shoot accuracy is the name of the game at self-defense distances.
Who It’s For
This revolver is for the daily carrier who wants a no-fuss, dead-reliable backup or primary deep-conceal option. If you pocket-carry, ankle-carry, or run a belly band in summer, the snub-nose .357 Magnum is a proven choice. It’s also ideal for revolver shooters who prefer a DA-only trigger for consistency and safety in high-stress draws.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: The .357 Magnum chambering lets you shoot .38 Special +P for practice and hot .357 loads for defense — two guns in one.
- Pro: Polished stainless steel is low-maintenance and looks good even after years of carry.
- Con: The 2-inch barrel makes .357 Magnum recoil sharp, especially with full-power loads — practice with .38 Special to build proficiency.

| Barrel Length | 2″ | 1.875″ | 1.875″ |
The DIA gives you an extra round and a longer barrel over the two most popular snubbies, at the cost of a few extra ounces. If you prioritize capacity and sight radius, the DIA wins. If weight is your primary concern, the LCR or 642 are lighter.
FAQ
Is the DIA DB0700S702 safe to carry with a round in the chamber?
Yes. The double-action-only trigger and heavy pull weight (typically 10-12 lbs) make it safe for chambered carry in a proper holster. Always practice the four safety rules.
Can I shoot .38 Special +P in this revolver?
Yes. The DIA DB0700S702 is rated for .38 Special +P as well as .357 Magnum. Using .38 +P reduces recoil and muzzle flash for practice while still delivering solid defensive performance.
What holsters fit this 2-inch snub-nose revolver?
Most holsters designed for 2-inch K-frame or L-frame revolvers will work. Look for pocket holsters, IWB kydex, or leather pancake holsters. The polished finish won’t mar easily, but kydex is still the best for retention.
Does the revolver come with a lock or safety?
Per manufacturer specs, the DB0700S702 has no manual safety — it relies on the heavy DA trigger as its safety. No internal lock is reported on this model.
What is the barrel twist rate?
Per manufacturer specs, the twist rate is 1:18.75 inches, optimized for .357 Magnum bullets in the 125-158 grain range.
